Re: fiddy question

the swingarm is 2 inches longer then stock and will fit you might need and extended brake bolt and a longer chain but otherwise itll fit for the xr70 forks they will also fit.

Re: fiddy question

okay with the stock 70 swingarm your rear will be lifted about 2 inches. front will be lifted about 3 inches depending on which shock you use for the rear. you can get a ishock which will raise it another 2 inches. and if you get hd spring for your forks itll raise it up alil bit more.

Re: fiddy question

if your looking for just more height get some stiffer springs...

and yes 70 forks and swingers fit.....but on the swinger the brake drum tab has to be welded an inch and a half back...and you need the 70 brake rod.

the forks raise it around 4" and the rear it depends on what shock you use.
